GST/HST for freelancers

Keep every input tax credit you’ve earned.

If you’re GST/HST registered, a receipt missing one detail can cost you the credit. Claimwise checks each receipt the moment it arrives, while the vendor still remembers you.

1Catch it

Flagged in seconds, not in April.

Priya’s $240.00 font licence from Kestrel Type is missing the supplier’s GST/HST number. Her $612.66 camera repair is over $500, so it also needs her name and payment terms. Claimwise holds both credits and says exactly what’s missing.

  • Clear reasons, not error codes
  • Credit stays on hold, not lost
  • Fix once, it re-checks automatically

2Fix it

We draft the note to the vendor.

One tap sends a polite request for a corrected invoice. When the new one arrives, it replaces the old one and the credit unlocks.

  • Drafted for you, sent from your email
  • Tracks who you’re waiting on
  • Vendor rules for repeat suppliers
